Luckily, in the midst ofso many somber realities andexpectations, President Obamaappears as theleader ofthe yet most powerful country of the Earth, who can start the"new beginning", thehistorical inflection from force to word.

Despite harassment of the Republican Party on which lies themilitary, financial, energeticand media "great domain",
he has now the moralauthority at a global scalethat would allow himto replace the democratic principleswhere"globalizers" placed trade laws; ethical values that were replaced erroneously
by the “market”.And hecould undertakethe reconstruction of ademocraticmultilateralism, respecting"all peoples" -as stated in the
Charter- and not only to the mostprosperousand powerful. Obamacould also tacklethe great socioeconomic,
environmental and securityand peaceissues adopting measures at nationaland global levelsinvolving allthe inhabitantsof Earth, as far aparttoday, so
unequal, so confused, somanyneedy...

Here are some ofthe paragraphsthat I considerinteresting to note:

“Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are
rules to ensure competition and fair play”.

“Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable…”.

“…We have always understood that when times change, so must we; that
fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges”.

“For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking
few do very well and a growing many barely make it”.

“We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our
time”.

“We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not
just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of
climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and
future generations…”.

“The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes
difficult. But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it”.

“But we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war…”.

“We will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis
abroad”.

“We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the
Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on
behalf of those who long for freedom”.

“Peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that
our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and
justice”.

“Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the
striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity;
until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather
than expelled from our country”.

“For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay”.

“You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our
time — not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense
of our most ancient values and enduring ideals”.

Obama, another opportunity toclarifythe directionsof a future respectful with the youngandsucceeding generations, in order to straighten up the injusticescausedby
the extremegreed, due to the absolute
power blindness rather thangenuinedemocracy.
